Instructions

Step 1: Slice each chicken breast horizontally into thin cutlets, creating a pocket for the filling. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Mix sun-dried tomatoes, basil, garlic, 1 tbsp olive oil, and 1/2 tsp salt in a small bowl until well combined. Spoon 1.5 tbsp of filling into each chicken pocket, pressing gently to secure.
Step 3: Heat remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then place in skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4: Reduce heat to medium, add Dijon mustard and lemon juice, and swirl to create a glossy sauce. Cook for 1 minute until slightly thickened, then remove chicken to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
